Knurling on flat surface

Does anybody know of a machine shop in the SoCal - I.E. area that can knurl the face on a billet brake pedal pad. Any help would be appreciated. This is the piece I need modified, the surface of the raised area is what I would like to have knurled. Thanks!

I would like it to match this piece...

This guy is not in Cal, but does good work. He does numerous things. Moto-electrix. 417-529-6409
Check out some of his work by searching CFL Knurled pegs on ebay.
His gas/oil caps are sick.

I bought pegs from him and they are super sweet.

won't knurling mess up the chrome plating? or did you plan to strip the chome, have it knurled then replate? seems it would be cheaper to buy something close to what you want.

as far as I know you cannot knurle a flat surface it would have to be machined in/on a mill and any machine shop should be able to do it for you in an hour or so..yes the chrome will be junk when they are done..

Yes, the plan is to strip the chrome, machine the part then re-chrome. It's the option I have to take because I can't find a brake pad with that look anywhere. Some close, but no cigar, as they had rubber incorporated in the design. I've been searching for a month now with no luck. If anyone knows of one please let me know.
